About this map

Dinnebito Wash carves through this high desert portion of Navajo County, defining a landscape where water sources are vital geographic anchors. The area is characterized by a network of significant springs and traditional watering points, including Tis Ya Toh Spring, Dove Spring, and the uniquely named Ba Ha Zohnnie Betoh. These features, alongside Sunlit Spring and White Cave Spring, suggest a topography where subsurface hydrology dictates the location of travel routes and historical land use.

Infrastructure is represented by a series of tribal roads, specifically Indian Rte 1, Indian Rte 45, and Indian Rte 621, which navigate the plateaus and canyons. To the north, Cottonwood Canyon and the prominent Cliff Ridge provide distinct elevation changes, while Tolah Nascin marks another essential water feature in this arid environment, illustrating the intersection of natural resources and connectivity in the 21st-century Southwest.
